GDT: NHL Draft Lottery 2022 - FLYERS PICK 5TH -- Tuesday, May 10th - 6:30PM - (ESPN, ESPN+, SN, SN NOW, TVAS)

[FLYguy3911]

Josh Harris has a lot of lottery luck.

Fletcher and Flahr have a history of taking defensemen high in the draft. I'm sure they'd love Jiricek or Nemec. Which means a big money guy on the 3rd pair...or LTIR.

 

[bobbythebrain]

Will be traded for a more ready NHL player. Chuckles ain't got time to develop.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Anyone who thinks Ristolainen is a better defensemen than Ghost needs to be banned from watching the sport.

Just give them a coloring book and make sure they don't eat glue.

they will eat the crayons...

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Hughes, Hischier, Bratt, 2nd overall, Holtz, L. Hughes...thats a damn good young core to build upon.

well it aint no Yands, Gromps n Hayes... thats fore sure...

I for one am optimistic that this pick will be a solid player. Color me different!

Given who’s making the pick, I will grant “solid player” insofar as there are no draftable slimes or ghosts this year.

 

[Amorgus]

Yeah, they'd f*** up the first overall pick anyway. Or pick a guy whose previously undiscovered conjoined twin begins eating his way out of their abdomen or something.

I just got a newly released Grateful Dead album today (Dave’s Picks Vol. 1). Out of job, Flyers suck, Phillies suck, I’m just going to pour a massive glass of Bourbon, roll a fatty, and have several Troegs IPA’s while listening to the Dead and pretending everything isn’t awful.

Newly released? That baby came out a decade ago, and has been available on the archive for a while?

Regardless, enjoy! That spring '77 run was probably their last great hurrah.

My personal faves are fall '71. One drummer, Keith new to the band, Pigpen still doing pretty well. Tight and groovy, IMO.

 

[Flyerfan18]

Is it wrong that I want Savoie at 5?

Yep not a top 10 pick. Should go around 15

 

[Striiker]

Not big and strong enough, right?

I had a cousin who was a GD groupie in 1967. Luckily she is still alive.

It's your life and you can do what ever you like Lurch. So here's to you:



One of my factoids: The organ is a Vox Continental

 

[TheKingPin]

I was disappointed to not get Cooley but this could work out best for us. If we get one of the Dmen it could allow for Provy to be traded. The other options around that spot seem good too. Need to still tank and add picks for next year.

 

[macleish1974]

I liked Seth Jarvis two years ago. He was ~ 5' 10" and 170 lbs when drafted.

Savoie is 5' 9" and 175 Lbs now. Savoie is faster and has a high end motor like Seth Jarvis.

And if Brindy likes a kid like Jarvis, I think Flyers fans will like Savoie.

 

[snoop88]

I’m really not a fan of this weird revisionism of the 06-07 season where the Flyers were in last place, 11 points behind the next worst team.

obviously an awful season, but we knew we had a really good core growing with Richie and Carts and Gags. and knowing Snider was gonna spend a billion dollars in the offseason for Kimmo and Hartsie and Danny.

with this 2022 team's future? I got nothing

 

[Soup Enthusiast]

who honestly even cares anymore

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Do you still spend money on the team? If you do you aren't an optimist, you are part of the problem.

 

[Lindberg]

I think we should all take a moment of silence and enjoy this.

 

[BernieParent]

I'm coming around to @Ghosts Beer's thinking and hoping for Nemec or Jiricek. For what it's worth, the Athletic's selection (Charlie O's, to be specific) for the Flyers at 5 is Nemec, after (in order) Wright, Slafkovsky, Cooley, and Jiricek.

100% this. While that season sucked, we the factors you listed gave hope... Not to mention we traded arguably the best Flyer player ever.

Our only hope now is we are not as slow and as untalented on this roster as we appear, some coach can fix that, or we are screwed for a while (the most likely scenario).

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Who gives a shit

 

[DancingPanther]

Just pray the guy they draft is a

B I G B O D Y

 

[IronMarshal]

So NJ could add Cooley or Nemec to go with J. Hughes, L. Hughes, Hischier, etc. Cool.

Dawson Mercer and Alexander Holtz too

Always draft for skill, never for need.

Yes, but almost nobody does

Iam away from Alkohol for 3 weeks now. Maybe i should start with drugs? Some ideas? Cap? BiggE? Lurch?

The only player with more NHL games than Mel Bridgman from the 1975 Draft was picked at 210.

How you spell useless knowledge?

I thought i was the HFFLYERS residential drug connoisseur.

Here are my pro tips. Drugs are not an escape. You want to escape? Suicide is the only true escape. So right off the hop just say no to hallucinogens.

Drugs should be a performance enhancer. Cocaine.... energy, Meth Moar Energy, PCP God Like energy. Red Bull......legal energy yuck.

Heroin aka Lolli Poppy. Don't like Pain? Like Euphoria? Don't like Freedom? Enjoy the sweet bliss of pure body gasm as you curl up in a ball on some abandoned part of town's sidewalk wearing clothes you found in a trashcan? IF you have answered Yes to these questions..... Let me formally welcome you to the wonderful world of Opiates.

Every Play mario brothers? Remember when Mario has star power and he is invincible but only for a fleeting moment? That is what Opiates are like except all you can thnk about is stars and how to get more stars into your body and you are basically willing to do anything , and i mean anything , to get stars. Just remember once you main line stars there is no turning back. Save that for the end my friend.

After he got traded? Iam with you
